Mind Wave Marsh Mates Puffy Stickers - 6 Cafe and Food Designs

Foam stickers with a soft, flocked surface

Marsh Mates is a series of animals who spend their day eating. Each sheet is a small cafe scene: a dog behind the counter of a coffee shop, a bear pulling bread out of the oven, a cat at a sushi counter. The stickers are die cut from foamed PVC and finished with a flocked surface, so they sit proud of the page with a velvety feel rather than lying flat like paper stickers.

The six scenes

• Dog and Coffee Shop, Yeti and Sweets, Bear and Bread, Panda and Chinese Restaurant, Cat and Sushi, Rabbit and Japanese Sweets
• Sheet size H175 x W90 mm, package 202 x 93 x 6 mm
• Foamed PVC with flocked finish, about 25 g per pack
• One design per pack, printed in China

Where they work best

The pieces are cut larger than typical flake stickers, so a few of them fill a journal spread, a pen case or the lid of a laptop. The raised surface casts a small shadow, which is why people use them on scrapbook pages and photo frames where texture reads well, and why they are less suited to something that has to slide into a pocket.

Things to know before you buy

The foam body is thicker than a paper sticker, so the page will not sit perfectly flat afterwards. The flocked fibres can pick up lint if the sheet is left loose in a bag, so keep it in the package until you use it. Water will not dissolve these, but the flocking dulls after repeated rubbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are puffy stickers?

A: Puffy stickers are die cut from a soft foam material rather than paper or vinyl. On this Marsh Mates series the foam is covered with a flocked finish, so the surface feels like felt and the sticker sits slightly raised on the page.

Q: How big is the sheet?

A: The sticker sheet measures 175 x 90 mm and the retail package about 202 x 93 x 6 mm. Each package holds one design and weighs roughly 25 g.

Q: Which animals are in the series?

A: Six: dog, yeti, bear, panda, cat and rabbit. Each one is shown in its own food setting, such as a coffee shop, a bakery or a sushi counter.

Q: Can I use them in a journal or planner?

A: Yes, but keep in mind they are thicker than paper stickers, so the page will bulge a little. They stick well to paper, card, plastic and painted wood.

Q: Are they reusable?

A: No. Foam stickers are intended for one placement; lifting them usually damages the foam edge and weakens the glue.

Q: Where are they made?

A: This series is made in China for MIND WAVE.
